That program, [he "School-Workplace Internship Program," served high school participants who attend Santa Ana high schools and/or Regional Occupational Program (ROP) classes.

These work-based learning and connecting activities for the Success Bound! participants during the school year will be directly linked to community-based partners and implemented by proven delivery systems. These instructional strategies will include career related activities that focus on basic skills training, life-long learning and expanded career opportunities for non-traditional employment for WIA participants that focus in several areas including business, the arts and bilingual environments where using translation skills will serve the local community. Actual employment will be through the District with monthly time cards and student employee payroll data serving as documentation for the paid internship segment of the program. This paid internship program will complement and expand offerings for participating WIA in-school participants by implementing appropriate assessment activities that focus on specific employment/employability competencies. These include resumes, job applications, bilingual medical/clerical and/or instructional proficiencies, job search techniques, related bio-medical and other academic and/or fine arts curricular expectations and an awareness of career ladder opportunities and their pre-requisites. These program activities will utilize existing Central County ROP (CCROP) and District facilities working within existing class schedules & space utilization to eliminate any potential impact on regular programs at secondary sites. The primary vehicle for the delivery of this portion of the program will be the weekly guidance/counseling meetings held on the individual high school campuses. 16
